The absolute best part of the RHONY reunion last night was when Kelly Bensimon said that “The grass isn’t always greener. No matter how much fertilizer you have.” Much more fertilizer after the jump.

The reunion taping went so “well” (meaning there were lots fights) that there will be a part 2 airing on Thursday. Here are the summaries of the fights from last night.

Most Popular

Round #1

Kelly Vs. The Media

The Fight: The media has attacked Kelly’s very important name with allegations that she beat up her ex-boyfriend.

Kelly said: “Does anyone ever asked me what happened? No.”

Round #2

The Countess Vs. The Count

The Fight: They couple are getting divorced after several years of marriage.
The Low Blow: Count Alex ended their relationship via email.
The Winner: No one really wins in these situations, but it would seem like the Countess does by default since he was an asshole and she gets to keep her title.

Round #3

The Countess vs. The Ethiopian Princess

The Fight: The Countess’ husband left her for a woman who is reportedly a princess.
Luann said: “I think that was slipped by [Alex and the princess] in order to make her look like just not an Ethiopian woman. I just thought it was interesting that he releases the fact that she’s a princess to make it look ‘OK.'”
The Winner: The Princess has a better title, but she’s dating below her rank. She still wins though.

Round #4

Ramona Vs. The Countess

The Fight: Ramona said that the Countess’ husband was an old man. The Countess overreacted.
Jill said: “If it’s none of my business, then why knock my rules that you would never take a guy’s number when you [asked for my husband’s best friend’s number].”
The Countess’ defense: “Oh you are really searching, darling.”
The Countess’ jab: “Then why did you buy me a magnum of champagne?”
Jill said: “That I paid for by the way and you never paid me back.”
The Winner: Jill.

Round #5

Ramona Vs. Jill

The Fight: Ramona said she was working on a skin care line for a year and a half. Jill insisted that it was less time than that.

The Winner: Jill.
